Feature Request: Print/Export "Visual & Audio Continuity Layout" (Storyboard + Audio Workflow)

The idea is simple: to have the ability to take our eyes off the software timeline and hold a physical document—or consult a linear PDF—that encapsulates the entire visual and sonic structure of a project.

This tool would allow us to analyze, review, and "look at" the editing workflow away from the computer, maintaining a complete overview of the project's rhythm. In cinema, this is the essence of a continuity script or storyboard; in PTE, it would be the ultimate way to read the sync between images and sound on paper.

Ideally, the software could generate and export a structured, table-like report based on the timeline:

Visual Chronology: A sequence of thumbnails representing the keyframes, slides, or main cuts, with clear graphical indicators for transitions (e.g., a sharp border for hard cuts, a gradient for fades).

Audio Flow Representation: Next to or beneath each visual element, a dedicated section showing the audio waveform envelope, volume control points, and multi-track blocks (Voice, Music, SFX). This makes J-cuts, L-cuts, and audio-driven transitions immediately visible on paper.

Text and Markers: Automatic inclusion of slide names, timecodes, durations, and text comments or notes linked to the timeline markers.

Having a printable "Visual & Audio Storyboard" would bridge the gap between digital precision and analog reflection. It would allow authors to study the pacing, narrative flow, and sound sync of their audio-visual projects during breaks or offline thinking sessions.
